Workers’ Comp Benefits Employers As Well as Employees

Workers’ compensation is a social contract between employees and their employers, but people sometimes forget that companies get a benefit from worker’s comp, too.

Except in states, such as Texas, that allow businesses to opt out of workers’ compensation, workers cannot sue their employers for negligence when they’re hurt on the job.

In the case of many injuries, workers likely would recover more if they were allowed to sue for personal injury. But workers’ comp laws do not require workers to prove negligence to collect benefits. Workers’ comp benefits paid no matter who or what caused the workplace injury.

Client Reviews

"Great lawyers, honest, dependable and trustworthy."
"After being seriously injured on the job I retained The Bulldog Lawyers. Before I hired them I interviewed a few other attorneys and Larry was the only one to answer my questions honestly and clearly. As soon as I hired them my former employer and their insurance company changed their attitude and the way they were treating my case. With their direction I was able to survive financially in a very difficult time."
